Adding plants to your
home or office... adds real value to your
property.
The benefits of plants are quite diverse. Plants are always hard at work
to make our environment happier, healthier, safer, and more productive.

Interior plants can reduce stress
and lowers distractions from office noise.Plants have been shown to enhance productivity by 12% while reducing
the mounting problems of workplace stress. Additionally, plants can reduce
busy office noise... lessening the frequency of workplace distractions.

Interior plants attract and retain
selective employees...Studies from Oxford University indicate that plants have positive
effects on employee perceptions and dispositions... which may lead to
increased employee retention.

Data
from surveys conducted by Unifi Network of Westport, Connecticut indicates
that in order to attract and retain top employees, workplaces must include
aspects of what inspires those employees during their time off. Recent
Gallop polls indicate that two-thirds of the American work force cite
gardening as their favorite off-time hobby. It logically follows then...
that plants should be included in the work place.

Interior
plants boost comfort levels and reduce O&M costs.According to a study out of Washington State University, plants
release moisture in interior applications... creating a humidity level
matching the recommended human comfort range of 30% to 60%. A comfortable
office environment is more conducive to productivity.

In
addition... when office air humidity falls below the recommended range,
materials such as wood can become cracked. When office air humidity
exceeds the recommended range, condensation on windows and exteriors walls
can cause structural damage. By keeping office air humidity levels within
the proper comfort range... interior plants can help to avoid costly
repairs.

Common but
dangerous microorganisms and toxins can become concentrated in sealed,
energy-efficient office environments. In fact... research published by
Bio-Safe Incorporated confirms that energy-efficient office structures are
often 10 times more polluted than the air outside. Lacking an appropriate
exchange of fresh outdoor air for stale indoor air, sealed office
environments can lead to a marked increase in employee illnesses from poor
indoor air quality.
